- themes:
- theme:
- Organizational coordination
- category:
- Organizational issues
- comments:
- International Labour Organization, Food and Agricultural Organization, Terre Solidali
- challenges:
- Challenges in coordination were temporarily experienced when an ILO project manager left the project and before another was recruited. Subsequently, project activities including reporting progressed smoothly.
- success:
- Understanding of the various stakeholders and their needs was important for ILO, to maintain sound relationships among the project partners.
- context:
- Effective coordination of projects is instrumental to the success of projects especially when they bring together different partner organizations: The project brought together more than three independent organisations working towards meeting the same objective. To ensure focus and effective monitoring of project progress it was important to have a project coordinator a role that was played by ILO. Coordination challenges were experienced when an ILO project officer left the organisation .Another officer, better able to interact with all stakeholders was recruited and thereafter partners were satisfied with the project coordination aspects. This was particularly the case given that two UN organisations (FAO and ILO) were partnering with FAO expected to somewhat report to ILO though submission of progress reports. Such an arrangement required effective handling and management.

- administrative_issues:
- For projects that bring together different partners, it is important for the proposed partners to extensively discuss and project coordination issues and avoid disagreements later on into the project. Just like in this project the project coordinator should be agreeable to all partners.
